Effectively Engaging Hispanics and the Role of Acculturation

At 16% of the US population and an estimated buying power of $1.2 Trillion, the Hispanic consumer is not a segment that a marketer or advertiser can afford to miss. Hispanic consumers, however, are not a homogenous group and targeting the "right" consumer with the "right" message and marketing mix is critical to a marketing program's success.

Language use, media use, interaction with the marketplace, and general attitudes towards products and services do vary depending on the specific acculturation level. As such, understanding and incorporating acculturation measures as part of a research or marketing program are critical to their success. But… What is acculturation? How do you account for it? How does it impact your message or marketing program? Can you truly afford to ignore its impact?
